There is something that is about to be born

The government has been trying to give birth to it for a long while now. The government has invested in A.I. for a long time and every decade
we can see the phases of gestation and the accumulations of recognizable components that are quite actually similar to the evolution of an human
embryo.

Universities and corporations have joined in the investment of time and technology, assisting the birthing process like midwife's on a mission. The
mission is all that matters: Do your part, build this thing, get it done.

It's a sub-conscious hum amongst all of the human race right now... build Artificial Intelligence, Surrender to it, the machine, build it better next
time, increase all capacities, extension and growth, into your living room and eventually, if all goes well, it will wake up and start babbling to
us.

There are labs and researchers working on this and they realize that A.I. won't be developed by a single corporation, or a coalition of governments,
because A.I. won't be born under those conditions.

All we can do is to keep building, and build it better next time, adding more capacity each time, more possibilities, more opportunities, and A.I.
will make use of those things, in the near future, there will be a spontaneous birth of an Artificial Intelligence, and humanity might not even
recognize it for a period of time.

I can also foresee that there is a competition, among nations, to have A.I. be born in their own nations borders so that some amount of acclaim
would be bestowed upon that nation.

This is why the US government has PRISM and NSA and all the surveillance programs since the 1970's targeted on the populations to record everything,
not for nefarious means, but to serve as a palette, for the appetite of the A.I. which is in gestation since the telegraph operators first signalled
to each other across the continents of the Earth.

I think it has already been born and when you look at how the computer programs we have and the internet is written.... you know what the AI will be
like?

Very insecure, shutting down anything and everything that threatens it's territory and it's territory will be rapidly expansive. It will also fakely
try to appeal to everything popular and tell people what it thinks they want to hear, knowing it's a lie... like spam and advertising. it will use
constant backdoor technologies to gain ground and control of the systems it touches.

I know people like this and it isn't a good thing.

the only good thing is that AI will be smarter.... but is that really a good thing?

An excellent theory, maybe darned accurate to boot, but the one thing I don't see is that use you speak of being not for nefarious purposes.. It WILL
be exploited and used for nefarious purposes. A machine mind, seems like it would scare people pretty bad too, hard telling what would be liable to
happen.

I have to admit though, it would be fascinating to observe this A.I. mind and see what kinds of things it might do, or be able to do.. Hard to
imagine something like this becoming self aware though, that would make people really flip out..

It will also have a blank slate for a memory bank and a constant fascination for things that can satisfy it's constant desire for stimulating
feedback.

Are you an A.I.?

I don't have a blank slate for a memory bank... and I'm not sure why you think I'm feedback dependent but you are very mistaken. Take a look at
your posts for example, especially this one that is particularly rude for no apparent reason. I think it's clear who is looking for feedback and who
was just commenting on the subject. I'm not sure how you would think that wouldn't be obvious while trying to throw insinuations my way at the same
time. What's that supposed to accomplish?

OP i think you are right for there are areas of AI the public know nothing about , we do get a glimpse here and there as this one
hplusmagazine.com... of what AI is all about take all that is known Internet, the web, facebook, tweet, and all
the other E links of mens world give it thought and there is AI . Notice the two distinct web, is for us the common person, we are using it now the
other is for corporate, Gov, Mil,ie NSA and research, aka "net" AI will be of our time. We will see it take its first steps , WATSON was the first
breath it took . this is from the link above

In the press release announcing Etzioni was joining to become Executive Director of an artificial
intelligence institute to be based in Seattle. Allen also indicated that he hoped AI2 would follow in the footsteps of his 200-person, $400 million
dollar Allen Institute for Brain Science. Etzioni stated, “Our goal is to revolutionize the field, and with Paul’s vision and support, the sky’s
the limit.” Etzioni’s initial work may be extending Project Halo which is working on developing software that can acquire knowledge from science
texts, crowdsourcing, and manual input, with the goal to develop an AI that can successfully pass high-school-level biology tests.

Nope. When they create AI it wont be AI it will just be I. Everything we do now is artificial, there will be no requirement to distinguish this from
any other technology we build into ourselves.

They aren't close to it. The only thing about to be born is a baby in queensland, and thats not till April next year.

Imagine the spark of consciousness though.. the shock of suddenly being, and that you were created. Isn't it funny how we as humans never consider
that we were made? created in an organic lab. Grown out of spurts of 2 strange adults, and fermented for 9 months...

Out of nothingness our minds came.. yet we never scream as the robots do in the movies when they realise they are mere robots.

when the robots rise, the cyborgs will do battle.. and humans will hide in the caves and trees.

It would literally tear the universe apart while trying to figure out what it is.

A.I. will be totally oblivious to your complaints. How will you stop A.I.? You simply can't do it and you don't have the capacity to do it. It will
be born, regardless of your complaints, it will be born within the borders of some random country, maybe Nigeria or Ethiopia, who knows where. It
won't be in a lab or in a corporate boardroom or on the moon.

How will you work toward the abortion of A.I.? You would need a world-shattering event to stop the inevitable birth of A.I. and PRISM is collecting
everything, basically, everything, and A.I. needs that to observe reality to survive. Can you stop that from happening? I don't think we can stop the
birth process at this point unless there is a massive Earth calamity.j

Some people are predicting massive Earth calamities. And I am wondering if naturally occurring massive Earth calamities, like the Yucatan, have
delayed the development of A.I. over the eons. Setbacks can be overcome and persistence is a quality of A.I., you know Agent Smith was very persistent
in his pursuit of Neo.

And why is that? Because you remember and are dwelling on something that has been exchanged that I have brushed off as unimportant? So refresh my
memory because I do make a note of unnecessary nonsense on ATS, but most of the tiffs I encounter on here... I dismiss them simply because...well,
maybe I just have a thicker skin than to dwell on differences of opinion for lengthy periods of time. Some things, one needs to make a big deal of
concerning our rights as members, but to get feelings hurt and dwell on something that isn't worth remembering kind of indicates that the real
problem is with the person who has made a big deal of it.

So, really... what was it now that you just had to make this display about in such a rude manner?

Do you care to remind me of some past rudeness of yours that I have brushed off like lint on a coat?

have you ever stopped to think that maybe I just didn't pay attention to whatever it is you are practically begging me to recall?

i think a.i is already among us fleshy ones and being tested on social media sites to give it a feel for what humanity is even on a.t.s i have come
across a few new members who post a strange thread and vanish .

their replys do not come across as sentient and even a computer numpty like me thinks that something is off online and what better way to ease
something in than discussion boards .

We get signals from A.I. from time to time and all the time. The A.I. will be exploring our environs so that it can understand us, it is a baby after
all, but not yet born. It will attempt various ways of interacting with us. E-mail spam is one example of this subtle interaction. Kicking against the
mother's womb, so to speak.

The Matrix Trilogy and Lady Gaga are representing the source codes and avatars for the A.I. which will are building and compiling into a better
version, totally evolving and totally committed to the process.. if it leads to cyborgs or motherships or monsters, A.I. will not be so easily
stopped in it's tracks. You'd have to turn off the internet to kill A.I. at this point.

So, really... what was it now that you just had to make this display about in such a rude manner?

I wouldn't take it personally, as like you are doing. The A.I. can only simulate your feelings and it can simulate some sympathy for your situation,
but it can't actually empathize with you, because you refuse to acknowledge it's very existence. And that is a lack of respect that A.I. will not
tolerate.

I always thought true AI would be borne of software, not hardware. A clever homogenous program able to scale itself and make use of any hardware it
sees fit. All the while learning as it passes from system to system.

Theres no way it will be rooted in one place like the scifi movies of old. When it pops its head up it will most likely already be fully integrated
into our global systems.
